　　Which of the following should the parents do to rectify the behavior of their children?

　　-limit the types of TV or films

　　-spend more time talking with their children

　　-monitor and supervise children’s activities with their friends

　　解题思路：

　　1. Spend more time talking with their children - parents can find out the reason for misbehavior or bad behavior, so as to give suggestion to their children

　　2. Limit the types of TV programs or films - will not help/ only lead to resentment and rebellion

　　3. Monitor and supervise children’s activities with their friends - children will not feel at ease/ they cannot enjoy their time with friends

　　Some parents complain of the improper behavior of their children and they try every means to rectify such behavior. Normally, they resort to three ways, namely, restriction of forms of entertainment, face-to-face conversations, and supervision over their children. Among the three options, I think the most effective one should be to spend more time talking with their children.

　　A face-to-face talk can reveal many things that are otherwise kept hidden or unnoticed. This will in the end solve a lot of problems. In fact, the reasons for improper behavior or misbehavior vary among children, and it is almost impossible for parents to really tackle the problem without finding out the reason for such behavior. For example, a child may choose to draw graffiti on the wall simply because they have seen others do it and found it cool to imitate, totally oblivious to the trouble that might be brought about by such conducts to their parents. Without a proper talk with their children, the parents might mistake such behavior for a deliberate rebellion against the parents and might resort to harsh punishment, which can only worsen the result. Also, sometimes misbehavior is one way of saying “I want your attention.” When neglected, some children may choose to hurt themselves so as to win attention from their parents. In this case, spending time with children proves to be the most effective way of eliminating such behavior.

　　Limiting the types of TV programs or films, on the other hand, will not achieve the intended purpose. This is because, despite the firm belief of some parents, there is no correlation between children’s misbehavior or improper behavior and certain types of TV programs or films. Children will not necessarily become violent if they have watched some so-called violent cartoons or movies, nor will they use improper language if they have watched some shows not intended for them. In fact, many TV programs and films have all filtered out things that are universally deemed improper to children, so that exposure to them is not as harmful as the parents choose to believe. Besides, restricting the types of TV programs or movies will only lead to resentment or rebellion, since children may find it difficult to fuse into their circle of friends if they cannot share the same topics with their friends.

　　Likewise, monitoring or supervising children’s interaction with their friends is also not an effective way. Normally, with the presence of parents, children will not feel at ease, so they can hardly enjoy themselves when playing with their friends. This is because many games popular among children would be regarded as improper or dangerous in the eyes of the parents, and thus be totally forbidden by the parents. Their friends may also feel awkward under the supervision from a stranger, so they may choose to stop coming by and playing. As a result, their children will soon be left alone with no one to play with, which only contributes to more misbehavior.

　　In conclusion, if parents want to rectify their children’s behavior, the most sensible choice would be to spend some time talking with their children to find out the reason and suggest a solution.
